Franchise‑Based CGL Features Top Indian Players and New Mascot

During a ceremony attended by Chhattisgarh’s Deputy Chief Minister and Sports Minister Arun Saw, the league unveiled official logos, mascots and branding for its six participating franchises. The visual identity incorporates a stylised hockey player over the state map, using saffron, green and a bold orange streak to symbolize energy, speed and ambition. The mascot, named “Baghva”, is a tiger that embodies courage, strength and the region’s rich wildlife heritage. The tagline “Chalo re sangi, hockey khelbo” reflects the local enthusiasm for the game. The announcement highlighted the state’s strong athlete base and positioned CGL as a pivotal step toward elevating Chhattisgarh’s presence on the national and international hockey stage.
